Foreign Affairs › Re: IDF Strikes Iran’s South Pars Petrochemical Facility In Asaluyeh by grandstar(m): 6:58pm On Apr 06
Do you know its wrong? Israel has only done so out of frustration.

Iran i believed bombed the refinery in Haifa, Israel first.

Were US to bomb power plants and bridges, thats amounts to a war crime. Those are civilian infrastructure and not mil8tary.

His threats to blow up power plants and bridges would simply worsen things for everyone global because Iran would hit back hard!!!

Nice one from Israel, not waiting for the confused man in white house that's busy posting what he intend to do whilst Israel is doing it before saying it

At the end of Zolfaqari’s remarks, the video transitions to an image of Earth from space, zooms in on Abu Dhabi via Google Maps, and focuses on a desert area not far from the coast, without naming it. However, a caption attached to the site reads: “Nothing remains hidden from our eyes, even if Google conceals it.” The video then shifts to a night-vision-style display of the area, showing the data center from above.

All the US tech companies are for military purposes. This is why Iran is going after the US tech companies.

These US tech companies were complicit in the Gaza genocide.
That is not true.

The US and Israel shouldnt have attacked Iran. Thats enough.

Very good from Israeli forces. Now Iranian forces, let’s see your response. This Xmas party which you started during Lent and Ramadan must be sustained
Israel and US started the war. Israel saw Iran as easy game and together with the US would be able to achieve regime change.

I dont like the Mullahs but the cockiness of America and Israel are solely at fault here

How does prepaid meter have in common with subsidy removal?
They are totally different things.

The job of a meter is to calculate the duration of power and charge you for it based on the cost per unit tailored to you, whether its subsidized or not.

On the other hand, subsidized power means you are sold power below the cost price of generating the power and distributing it.

So, i will combine both answers together for an example.

For instance, lets say it cost N45 per unit to generate and distribute power and you are paying N25 per unit, that means it is subsidized by N20 per unit. Lets assume you are Band E

Lets say use 20 units a month, that means you will pay N25 x 20 units which is N500. The meter will charge you N500.

Lets say on the other hand you are a Band A customer and you pay N50 per unit while the cost of generating and distribution is still N45, that means there is even a N5 profit. Lets assume you use 20 units, the meter will charge you N50 x 20 units which is N1,000.

The meter charges you for the power you use, whether it is subsidized or not.

You can not be seeking peace while still bombing Iran. They have refused to caputulate.
Politics › Re: Power Crisis: Gencos Kick As Tinubu Approves ₦3.3 Trillion To Clear Legacy Debt by grandstar(m): 6:07am On Apr 06
If the Gencos are truly being underpaid by the government, this is unfair.

They are being forced to carry the weight of electricity subsidies and thr indebttedness of large amount of monies owed by gocernment instittuitions.

It is time the subsidies ends, all government bodies perhaps move to prepaid if it possible. I dont know the global best practixes in that regards.

I stand by what i said. Iran is more fascist than Islamist.

Iran is no Afghanistan or even Pakistan.

The Iranian revolution is so 1970s. By 1990, Iranians realised the Mullah were all hubris and had nothing to offer.

Her father is or was in Iran enforcing Sharia dress code while she was in another country doing the opposite.

She also went to school while her father was probably stopping other girls from going to school in Iran.
Iran actually embraces western education.

More females than males are in higher education, 55/45 in favor of women.They have a well educated population.

Iran is more of a fascist state than it is Islamic.

Family › Re: My Friend Brought Back His Promiscuous Wife by grandstar(m): 6:51am On Apr 05
adamkkk:
I have this friend that got married on time. It was because the woman was pregnant as at the time and the guy was still in school(200level). So he dropped out of school to become a full time husband. That was the excuse he gave back then.

The woman got him the first child and then the second. My friend was living minimal to support the woman, he even rented a shop for her and spent so much on her(I don't want to talk too much).

One day another married man far older than my friend, approached him and advised him to tell his wife to stay away from his family. Apparently, the woman was dating the other man and when the other man decided not to continue the relationship anymore, the woman(my friend's wife) started threatening him and his wife and was acting jealous. It was that same period that it became known that the woman was dating other men and has been promiscuous for years even though they were not helping her with money. It was devastating.


My friend gave alot to that marriage and just like that, he was betrayed. So after everyday quarrel, she left the house.

It been like over 8 months now and my friend has moved on, i assumed so because he was with another girl that nearly caused issues between us


All of a sudden, he wanted the wife back. I advised her against the idea, but she was bent on doing just that. Some people were telling him to take her back like that. The matter tire me sef. So whenever the discussion came up, i would jejely avoid contributing to the talk.


So to the shock of everyone, he brought her and her load back. I don't want to say what on my mind and what am suspecting and at the same time, i could be wrong.


What do you make of the situation and is there a probable expectations in the future ?

Please let me know.
Please edit your 6th paragraph. You used "her" instead of "him" in about 3 places, completely confusing readers.

If that would make you sleep well, so be it grin
Don't turn this around. I can smell a "Israel is God's country" fans a million miles away. Since Israel is God's own country, they will always be victorious.

So, when it is even clear things are going against them, you will still live in denial

I am a Christian. How can present day Israel be blessed by God when they rejected the Messiah or Christ? (Read John 3:18, Matthew 23:37-39)

If you believe that they are still God's chosen people, that means your being a Christian is in vain.

The one blessing giving them the victories is not God ( Read 2 Corinthians 4:4; 11:14, Revelations 12:9)

America just dey pity Iran like dieeeee cool
Yes, Iran is no superpower but they have America and Israel at the jugular.

The US military brass opposed this war but Trump wouldnt listen. Now, the mess they predicted is now being fulfilled.

The US has no choice but to negotiate with Iran.

If this war continues, it will cripple the global economy.

MiamiLord:
I just dey pity iran.


You can't withstand Israel alone not to talk of Israel and US joined together
.
The US and Israel underestimated Iran. That is now so clear.

The US and Israel have far superior fighter jets, and plenty of it. Iran knew it couldnt face them one to one in the air.

Iran focused on missile technology which are far cheaper than fighter jets and produced thousands of thwm.

It also created a system where they would first send cheap drones and missiles to be intercepted by costly and limited interceptor missiles by the Iron dome, and David Sling.

After wasting missiles, Iran now sends the ballistic missiles and cluster bombs which hit Israel hard. Israel is censoring what images of Tel Aviv gets out but from few pictures available, parts of it are in ruins.

Iran is winning this war. The real losers are Trump, who was wzrned by the US military brass not to start a war with Iran

The second is Netanyahu who been made to look rather powerless to end the reckless pounding of Israeli cities by the Iranians.

I knew this would be the next phase of propaganda from you. Not surprised at all.

Some of you are nothing short of demonic in reasining faculty. So it is percentage cut in taxes that will inspire confidence when the projects prioritized have or threaten no immediate impact on the lives of the people. Those indistries you are eyeing to help fulfil your textvook fantasies are for their own profit alone. Tax cut will only save them their profit. Nothing more.
Low taxes boost investments research has shown. This is not about inspiring confidance. It is about boosting investments. Even the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) wants the company tax rate cut to 20%.

Businesses by nature would prefer to investment in countries where they keep a larger share of profits. The former central European have used low company taxes to lure in massive amounts of Foreign Direct Investment.

Search Google: "Does low corporate taxes boost economic growth and provide examples."
Business › Re: When Nigeria’s Economic Expansion Fails Its People by grandstar(m): 10:11am On Apr 03
It would take about 6 years before people can really fill the impacts of the present reforms.

7% economic growth is what is needed to provide enough jobs for those entering the labor market yearly.

Government could still fasten growth by reducing the present company tax rate from 25% to 19%. It should also reduce the current capital gains tax rate from 30% to 15%.

Lower taxes will accelerate an investment boom which could add an extra 1.5% - 2% to any forecasted number.

He can not achieve his mission with US soldiers in the Middle East cowering in hotels, rather than in their bases.

Iran is very hard to break. I first thought there would be regime change in Iran but things have changed. Netanyahu may be the one kicked out.

A touching and emotional protest was recorded in Abuja as children of individuals accused of plotting a coup took to the streets, crying and pleading with authorities.

In the viral video, the children were seen holding placards and chanting “Don’t kill our daddies!” as they begged for mercy, drawing sympathy from onlookers.

The situation has sparked mixed reactions online, with many Nigerians calling for justice and due process, while others debate the seriousness of the allegations.

Watch the video above.


What are your thoughts on this? 🤔

Stop talking nonsense . Iran is playing dirty with the war by sending bombs to civilians residences. Israel just show the Iranians how dirty they could go if Iran don't stop dirty game they are playing with the war .

Israel are masters of dirty war, Iran is no match. But for some reasons probably because of the Persians, Israel is still being nice to Iran . If Iran push Iran further , Israel will seriously deal with them .
Iran is playing dirty? Are you for real? I would die of shock if they did not. Any expert on Iran would lose their jobs if they thought Iran would play otherwise.

Why did you think the Gulf States barred the US army from launching airstrikes from their countries? They did not want Irans wahala.

Netanyahus claim to legitimacy in Israel is that he is the best person to safeguard the lives of Israelis. The Iranian bombing of Israeli cities has made it embarrassingly clear he cant.

Dulllard Trump waa advised against starting this war by military high-ups but he refused to listen. His ego had been massaged so much by Netanyahu that he was fired up to do his bidding.

Now, what they said has come to pass.

I am a married woman for your information. I knew my husband right from his childhood. As a woman I know what the society has become so I should be able to say how rotten it is now.
IBB never, ever, ever, made that th3 statement.

I was in Unilag at that time.

People write rubbish all over the internet, and sadly, people just accept it, without verifying the source.

It all plays into the prejudice that Yorubas are cowards.

Yorubas played a massive role in kicking him out.

Did Abiola not come back to Nigeria and land in detention from where he was murdered. Did his wife not get murdered?

Eventually, IBB made up for his mistake of annuling the elections by making sure a Yoruba man became the next presidential candidate. Yorubas were pacified

This is unlike the Kalu guy who jumped bail and fled to Europe. Or the clown who was urging violence back in Nigeria from his safe haven in Finland?

Kalu was crying like a baby when he was sentenced to life. grin grin grin

They were captured grin, you guys are so delusional, your support for terrorist sponsors has blinded your sense of reasoning. When the news of IDF has shortage of troops filled the front page, i an sure most of you guys didn't bother to read it, you took the headline and start reposting. ( They has been political debate of enlisting Haredi men" reason being that fighting in multi front require more man power and even in time of peace policing the new bother require more powers, exemption of haredi men while more front is opening is where the debate originated from, just like every political debate they pro and against has to give adequate reason) so the manpower is not because Iran killed the current service men but need for more incase more front opens.
The US has denied the claim that US soldiers. Lets put that aside.

Israel has only 9.8m people. 2 million are Palestinian Israeli who are not part of the conscripted. Then you have the Haredi Jews who believe that their prayers is enough for the nation and wont enlist.

I never said that the shortage was due to the death of IDF soldiers.

If it has 40m persons or more, it wont be a problem. There is no way the IDF wont be stretched thin.

I am neither pro-iranian or Israeli.

What is Iran doing with nuclear power? It is an energy rich nation, an exporter large quantities of natural gas and crude oil, and by a coincidence, a nation that sponsors militant groups.

I am not pro-Israel. The slaughter of innocent men, women and children in Gaza is why noboby speaks out against the bombing Iran is carrying in Tel Aviv, a lot primarily targetted at civilians.

You pro-Israelis, always want to believe that Israel is invincible because they are Gods people. I dont believe that. How can they be Gods people when they rejected the Christ, and called for his death?

Jesus wailed over Jerusalem calling it "the killers of the prophets and the stoners of those sent to her." (Read Matthew 23:37-39)

How will God give them victories when they reject the Christ, and in turn God who sent him?

This where their victories come from (]Read Revelations 12:9, 2 Corinthians 11:14)

Looking at the thread, we know the crew, jubilating because they manage to get a drone through Saudi air space, not American air space oo, same applicable to Israel, using a cluster bomb which idf has said, they do allow it to get through because the cost of shooting it down is higher than the damage to property(Note: No live lost).

Then you guys will be jubilating, I wish idf will forget rules and unleash Gaza 2.0, I want to see you guys start singing greater Israel, Genocide etc
Gaza 2.0? The IDF is already suffering from a lack of troops. How would they wage such a war?

Iran isnt Gaza. The US sent their troops there and they were all captured.

The US and Israel greatly underestimated the Mullahs. The US military warned Dulllard Trump not to go to war with Iran. Now, their reason why has come to pass.
